    big chest?

    hey it seems my most lagging body parts are my delts and chest(the delts i am working on and have a program that seem to be working)

    for the chest i dont really have much at all.

    my lifts consist of flys-4sets

    bench press-2 sets (in the 15-20 rep range though cuz i only have weights that go up to 95lbs)

    (if i feel right and have my dad/bro to spot)-incline bench

    pushups


    now db press is out of the question because i dont have dbs that can hold more than 30lbs each

    and joining a gym is IMPOSSIBLE at this time. also i have NO machines other than a rower...just a bench,bb, and dbs

    what are some other lifts i can do that can add some size to my chest?

    Drop the pushups, add more weight on flat and incline bench exercises, try doing around 3-8 reps for benching exercises, and do flies last in your workout. Dips are also excellent if you have a dip bar.

    Also, at this point in time are you gaining weight and increasing overall muscularity? What kind of diet are you on?

    well flat bench i CANT raise cuz i dont have any more weight(im hitting yard sales this weekend to see what i can pick up).

    incline 95 is enough for me.


    at this point i am gaining weight and increasing overall muscularity.

    as for my diet....if see food i eat it lol. i eat basically everything except for candy, non diet soda, and i RARELY eat other forms of junk food.

    ill add dips.

    drop the flies, thye dont provide sufficient overlaod and are an isolation movement, try the below routin

    Flat bench 3 sets 4-6 reps
    Incline Bench Press 3 4sets 4-6 reps

    Mkae sure you put enough weight on so you can get at least 4 reps but no more than 6
    Think Maximum overload think MAX-OT

    I'm not completely certain but I think I also read an article somewhere that said that slower controlled reps are a really good way to pack on mass and strength, I don't know for sure though.
